depends on what you're talking about... with EVERYTHING (as in, what you hoise out of the car - turbos, UIM, hoses, etc.), someone weighed it at right around 450 lbs if my memory serves me. If you're talking about just the block and trany, it's quite a bit less.
edit: I found the post where the 13B (from an FD) was weighed (looks like engine and trany are about 525 lbs):

Jim,
I shipped a complete, engine, trans, turbos, PS, AC, starter, ECU 13B-REW with motor mounts and engine cradle still attached.
The whole shootin' match weighed 745lbs. Crate cover was 150lbs (weighed on scale), the bottom of the crate was probably about 50lbs. A tranny wieghs about 90lbs.
I know the crate was over built...
So doing some math we have
745lb Whole thing.
-150 crate cover
-50 crate bottom
-90 trans
-20 engine cradle?
435lbs
for the whole 13B-rew very complete with hoses, etc. I just picked up another FD and I'm going to be pulling the engine out of it. I'll take it down to the scales (shipping company) and find out what it weighs to get a better answer instead of the close estimate listed above.
